• 03:11 FEEDBACK: writing and submitting; writing contest at Suvudu; including sketches as part of a submission (Editorial Anonymous also says never submit drawings for children’s books unless you are an author-illustrator with credentials); exploring online publishing options for short SF&F work: Ralan.com, Duotrope online market search engine; growing out of the fear of wasting ideas; writing while in grad school & scheduling a “writing chain”; whether to include fan fiction credits in query letters; listener finished first draft of his novel! & recommended podcast Writing Excuses
• 11:21 GOOD COP/BAD COP: the value of writing blogs; learning how to edit a novel; where to submit a mixed-genre short story (cash vs. prestige, etc.); fear of starting a new novel & writing a fun (cyberpunk erotica) story for NaNoWriMo vs. writing the “saleable” story
